Enable SSL because of new Google guidelines

I think it will help a lot with the copyright issue if the image proxy adds a backlink to the source. So i embed an image from domain.com/img.jpg, the script downloads the image in the proxy cache, replaces the embed and adds a link below: source:domain.com/img.jpg. Something like that.

Systems → Settings → Posting although I usually get to it by typing SSL in the ACP search pane and it pops up automatically.

I have it enable on one of the website that hasn't got SSL

Interesting, and it works as expected too ?

For sites using ssl for logins only, there will be a fix in 4.1.18 (next release) to address this. 

:)

 

To confirm: this means that using ssl for logins only will apply to all pages that have the login drop-down?

Version 4.1.18 will change it so if you have HTTPS logins enabled but do not have your entire site on HTTPS then the login link will not be a dropdown but instead send the visitor to the full login page on HTTPS.

Sounds good to me -- I would much rather see people encouraged to use full SSL. :)

I have also just discovered that for sites on IPS Cloud, you get help from IPS: 

And again I feel relieved to have chosen IPS as hosts as well as makers of the software. :thumbsup:

@Charles: But please do not forget the register page and the password control center. All pages transferring sensitive data will cause this warning in Chrome.

And I don't want to let the register rate going down because the first thing new users see is the pw warning directly at the register page.

Those pages are already accounted for by the HTTPS setting. The change in 4.1.18 is to remove the drop down box that shows on every page. Even though it sent its data to a HTTPS page, Google was still warning because the field itself may not have been on an HTTPS page.

Charles, just checked this ssl-on-login-only setting on my test server but the register page is still a http page (using the standard register links). This page also contains pw fields which will cause a warning.

Enabling this setting should replace the http:register with https:register links (or doing a redirect). The same with the pw control center.

The SSL login setting is at

AdminCP -> System (mouseover) --> Settings header -> Login Handlers --> Login Settings button --> Use "https for logins and the AdminCP?" slider --> Save button

I am running 4.1.18.

I've had a free cpanel ssl activated for the past month or so, is this recommended as hosts have since said "Please bare in mind this is using a free cPanel SSL currently so isn't providing as much verification as a paid for SSL."

Should I be paying for this instead for better ssl?

That is just your host trying to get more money out of you. Unless you pay a large amount of money for an EV certificate (which is what this site uses, though the EV status seems to have been revoked by Firefox...), there is no difference in what is displayed to users between a free certificate and a paid certificate, and no difference in the actual security of your site.

I've been flagged, changed hosts, using a free provided SSL, upgraded, activated HTTPS on logins, and also set my images for caching. Now I requested a review from Google.

God. This has been a pain.

You might want to use Chrome's Developer Tools (F12) on Windows or right-click --> Inspect Element to bring them up, and look under the Network tab on your forum pages to see which items specifically are not being served over HTTPS to help troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks. It appears they are all https.

Hmmm - I can't even visit your site - not only does Chrome 57 bark about it being "potentially dangerous", but the McAfee proxy at work caught it identifying it as having PUP (potentially unwanted programs).

Hi @Subseven

I entered your URL into Whynopadlock.com which helped me when I converted, and it looks like it's your profile images that are absolute URLs. I had this issue and ran a query to covert them to https via phpmyadmin. Hope this helps.

Graham

THANKS! Can you tell me exactly what the query was?

Please don't run any manual queries, they are not needed nor recommended, if you need assistance, please submit a ticket and we can assist you. The only thing needed to clear that in most cases is running the support tool to clear the cache after changing to https though.

What about all the http images from external source embedded into forum posts after the switch to SSL? Clearing the cache doesn’t fix that.
